Hi Padmini,

I think I heard the same from my DH, too! Hubbies are funny at times.

Anyway, nice to hear from you. What is that hairdye you use?

Hello Janani,

Definitely, Vaseline is a beauty product many cannot skip. I dont use the moisturizer or body lotion stuff in that, but use the wax kind vaseline. It acts as a very good primer, you know. Many use it before applying foundation.

I have a dual purpose with vaseline. I use it as a lip balm (before applying gloss) and also use it to prep my eyes before applying eye makeup, especially eye shadow. It helps the colour stay longer and gives a good appeal. The good part is, it is harmless.

Thanq very much.

 

Dear Raji,

Maybelline waterproof liquid liner and Ultraliner seem to be great products. If you look for high end brands, try MAC Fluidline. If you apply a primer like vaseline before lining your eyes, it obviously should peel off.

I once came across such peel-off eyeliner during college culturals, but not sure of the brand. I definitely would not recommend that for your eyes. Personally, I never use peel-off liners. I am very choosy of my eye makeup because I am scared about my eyes.

There is a brand Blinc, which has peel-off liner. But, they say warm water and gentle pressure is enough to take away the residue and nothing much. That is supposed to be water-resistant, too. I am not sure if we can get this particular brand in India.

Your fairness/whitening cream review is on it's way.

Hope this helps!

 

Good day all,

Today's product for review would be Neutrogena Deep clean invigorating scrub.

This suits all skin types and supposed to be dermatologist-tested, so on a safer end. The cooling menthol gel leaves skin feeling fresh and clean. Energizing microbeads sweep away the dead skin cells that tend to clog pores.

When I tried this for the first time, my face became dry. Indeed, it got tighter. Though not a bad thing, it was a bit uncomfortable feeling at first. I saw it as a way of the product work and that it is not bunk. Your face might break out first, but thats trying to work on making face flawless. It works even on the complexion.

Definitely, moisturize after using Deep clean as it makes the facial skin tight and dry. Some might not like the feel of menthol on face as eyes tend to water. But, this product seems to work for acne, too. I am genetically blessed with normal skin, so no probs with acne. But, my skin too tends to break out and occasional zit appears.

If I need a quick fix or a way to clean my face after a hard day's work, then I go for the Deep Clean. So, Deep Clean is my primary tool. I am not sure if this is available in India, though.

Hope this helps!
